Mono 2005 Arcade action
Billed as a game that is "part Asteroids, part Robotron, and part PaintShop Pro," mono from freeware developer Binary Zoo amazingly fits the bill quite well. Although not a revolutionary game by any means, Mono is unique enough to merit attention from every SHMUP fan - and lovers of creative games in general. mono is hard to describe, so here is an excerpt from the Readme that might do the job: "The aim of the game is to change the colour of the entire screen from black to white or white to black. This is achieved by shooting the alien...
Dangerous Streets 1994 Arcade action
One of the worst fighting games ever made-- and possibly the only game from obscure Italian company Micromania. First impression of the game isn't bad-- it's a 2D fighting game starring superhero-type fighters in latex. It's only when the game proper begins that you realize how truly bad it is. To say this game is a "disappointment" would be an understatement, at the very least. Character graphics are decent-- but only when they are not moving. This is supposed to be a beat-em-up game like Street Fighter 2. Take out the personality, gameplay and fun of such games, and you have...
Mindfighter 1988 Adventure
Mindfighter is one of the best post-apocalyptic adventures ever made, although sadly not many people played it when the game was released in 1988 for the PC, Atari ST, and most other computer systems. Aside from being one of the most ambitious IF titles ever designed, Mindfighter also marks a debut title for Abstract Concepts, a more serious sister company of British developer Delta 4 who best known for the hilarious Bored of The Ring and other parody games. The game is based on the prophecies of 16th century French prophet Nostradamus, who predicted that the third world war would...
Kuma\War 2004 Simulation
Kuma\War takes a different approach to action gaming than other shooters. Rather than replay 60 year old or fictional battles, Kuma\War provides missions based on current real-world battles. In the event that you don't pay close attention to the news, the game provides a wealth of background information on the battle. The depth of information is akin to the historical battle information wargamers used to scour the backs of their encyclopedic game manuals for. You short attention span types won't have to go through all of the background information to get some info on the missions; they all include a...
Uridium 2 1993 Amiga
Video games are killing pop music. That's what some people say. If it's true, Andy Braybrook stands accused of being a mass murderer. You wouldn't think it to look at him, but his 'rap sheet' says it all. In April of 1990 Andy's conversion of the coin-op classic Rainbow Islands hit the shelves Milli Vanilli's chart career never recovered, later that same year Andy delivered the second barrel of his Amiga assault. Paradroid 90 scored 88 per cent (Andy's lowest ever), but Now Kids On The Block never scored another chart success. Throughout 1991 the bubblegum bubbleheads breathed easily as...
Laser Squad 1989 Amiga
Turn based strategy game Long before any of the X-Com games was made, Krisalis created Laser squad - turn based, squad strategy game (it was made for C-64 and Spectrum computers, and later for Amiga). Equip Your soldiers with guns, ammo, explosives, medical kits... and complete the mission. There are many things You can do with Your soldiers such as ducking, aim shots, auto shots, planting explosives and many, many other things. What I really like is that once You kill an enemy You can search the body and get his equipment, but if You kill him with explosives or rocket...
Goats and Tigers (a.k.a. Bagha Chal) 2004 Board
Goats and Tigers is a solid PC implementation of "Bagha Chal," a little-known board game popular in Nepal and Tibet. I have been looking high and low for a PC version of this very interesting game for months after I returned from my trip to Nepal with a nice bronze board and playing pieces :) This interesting board game is similar to the "Taft" family of Norse games like "King's Table" in giving two sides different pieces and objective. If you control the goats, your objective is to surround the tigers so that they are unable to move. If you...
Alpha Prime 2006 Arcade action
Alpha Prime is set in the future on a distant asteroid where an element called hubbardium is mined. Hubbardium is used for interstellar travel but it also seems to poison people and turn them crazy. When I first learned about it, I thought it was some Scientology influence but at any rate, you're asked to leave the confines of your spaceship to go down to the asteroid's surface and rescue a former comrade. Down on the asteroid, the surface looks every bit uninviting. It felt a lot like going into the seedy sections of Mars in Total Recall. (OK, maybe I'm...
Tender Loving Care 1998 Adventure
Tender Loving Care is an attempt to make a game for adults that falls way short on involvement, fun, and having replayability. The story within this game plays out like your late night cable flick, with fair acting, the mandatory T 'n A shots, and the empty promise of a suspenseful, twist ending. John Hurt, with an incredibly bad dye job, plays Doctor Turner, the narrator. He recounts the story of the Overton household -- you are given the chance to view events as they happen and possibly change how the story turns out. Six months ago, Michael Overton was in...
Inordinate Desire 1995 Strategy
Inordinate Desire is a turn-based strategy game with action elements. As commander of a spaceship carrier you have to conquer foreign planets. Every day is represented by a round. In the beginning of a round you are in your carrier and have these options: Buy new units, send pilots on patrol, repair ships and look at statistics. When this is taken care of you use your spaceship and fly to the planet. There you can give orders to your units and tell them to move or shoot. Yes, move or shoot - a unit can't do both in one round. Because...
